Yesterday, our pastor's home burned to the ground. His family (wife and four boys) are fine, but the house was a total loss.
I can't stop thinking about the sweet and desperate hope we have fixed on heaven, about our status here on earth as pilgrims and strangers. Stuff suddenly seems much more like... stuff. And I suddenly seem like I'm holding on to it all much too tightly.
Please pray for this family to our God who is great, and good, and infinitely wise. Beg His comfort and grace for them, and the abundant meeting of their physical needs. Pray for the restoration of their family pictures and keepsakes. Pray that we would all see eternally, with eyes of faith.
"For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever. Amen."
-Romans 11:36

I'm sure the pastor's family will pull through. My prayers will be with them.
I was saddened to hear this. Praying for them!
Lori, how awful! I will pray for them as well.
